Interesting fact
The Florin coin is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few known to exist. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Vladislaus II of Hungary, who was also known as Vladislaus Jagiello, and was a member of the Jagiellonian dynasty. This dynasty played an important role in the history of Eastern Europe, particularly in Poland and Lithuania, during the Middle Ages. The coin's design features the image of Vladislaus II on one side and the Hungarian coat of arms on the other, making it a unique piece of numismatic history.
